A.Marshall:



Thinking about this news and some of the statements on here I truly hope that in taking on Salford, Swinton and Oldham and then if he was to look at Rochdale it then wouldn't lead to the formation of a Manchester RL Team as that would be devastating to all four clubs.

I know its all speculation and doesn't really concern me, but, as a genuine RL fan, I don't think that this is a good idea.

At one level there doesn't seem to be a bar on an owner operating clubs at different levels different CEO's different focus? Fine but in this scenario, does that then limit where the Lions and Roughyeds compete, at a time when the powers that be are exploring a one game concept again with P&R?

At another level, perhaps the two weaker teams become feeder clubs and at another ulimately it's hello Greater Manchester Devils and you are all expected to traipse up to 'No Boundary Park' especially if he can't get his hands on the A J Bell?

Sounds like he's heading towards a Manchester Super Club.

Salford Red Devils RLFC. [quote="Gotcha":y7izhg01]Salford won't win Super League in my lifetime. Even saying in jest they would sounds stupid.[/quote:y7izhg01]:



Quote: Worzel "Sounds like he's heading towards a Manchester Super Club.'"


I have lost count the amount of times Marwan has confirmed he has no plans what so ever to change the name of Salford and create a Manchester club. He is proud of our history and heritage, hence the name change back to Red Devils.

As I understand it Koukashes interest in Swinton is instead of Oldham as it seems talks have stalled with the Roughyeds!

"In his autumn before the winter comes man's last mad surge of youth." "What on earth are you talking about?":986.jpg



Seems more worry from Wire fans coming on here panicking they'll lose their feeder club ..
I think the owner can answer the rest

Re Name
"Not to worry about the new name of the Stadium. We will always be called SALFORD RED DEVILS" -

"the name Salford will never be dropped as long as I am in charge. That is a promise."

Re Development
"we need feeder clubs mate"

"Success of the first team, will generate interest in more youngsters wanting to join us and they will be the future of the club"

And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg



To be honest, from a business and marketing point of view, changing your name from a Salford one to a Manchester one is an absolute necessity.

Salford, and I think you will probably already be familiar with it, doesn't have the best reputation outside its own diocese.... Marketing the Manchester name nationally (and globally) would be a darn sight easier than trying to sell Salford, especially to highly paid Aussie stars.

I think Koukash knows that and seeing he is all about wanting to make the most of any business potential, I think a marrying of two or three Greater Manchester clubs into a powerful 'Manchester' club, based in Salford, makes total sense.

I'm not a native Salfordian, so it's best for me to advise you of what will happen next in reply to this post...

...Be prepared. They have a big chip on their shoulder with regards to this. I'm not agreeing with you btw. The likes of Wigan and Huddersfield and even Warrington don't figure highly in the International mindset per se. Those names have and still are being built on in a RL sense and it has done them no harm. Let Salford do it the proper way and build their profile like all the others.

I agree with you with regard to other places like Wigan and Warrington, however, you get the impression that Koukash isn't really just aiming for something trivial like Super League domination.... I think he wants to build some sort of sporting superbrand, incorporating his horse racing, RL, football and possibly even more.

As for the chip on the native's shoulders - Surely even they are aware that recently Salford is more known for its criminal fraternity than any of its sporting acheivements?..... I'm simply being a devil's advocate in pointing this out and suggesting that becoming a Manchester brand would make them a lot more marketable.

Poor taste post man. My Family are from Salford and are not crooks and neither are most who live there. I don''t care how unmarketable Salford is - they are our team and a successful side might just help lift up the city. I hope Dr K can help Swinton too as it would make the whole Rugby League scene grow in the area.
